Life of Pi - Need some help (1 Viewer)

[captainchomp]

Hi,

I'm doing Life of Pi as the area of study and I'm struggling to understand how to study for it.
Does anyone have any notes on Life of Pi or any key themes/ideas/scenes of discovery that I should be focusing on?

Thank you!

Key themes or ideas - survival, morality, storytelling, religion, spirituality.

Key scenes - basically anything related to Richard Parker whether it's first seeing him, having to survive with him or being abandoned by him, the whole island fiasco, the interview with the Japanese, etc.

To be honest if you've read the book a lot of things should be coming to you because it's reasonably straightforward and there's a fair deal to talk about. You should develop your own opinion about what's important in the book and what really interested you.
